Implementation Reference

  • index.js:368-381 (registration)
    Registration of the 'get_block_info' tool in the ListTools response, including name, description, and input schema.
    {
      name: 'get_block_info',
      description: 'Get detailed information about a specific block',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          block: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'The block number to get info for',
          },
        },
        required: ['block'],
      },
    },
  • Input schema definition for the 'get_block_info' tool, specifying the required 'block' parameter as a string.
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        block: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'The block number to get info for',
        },
      },
      required: ['block'],
    },
  • Handler implementation for 'get_block_info' tool. Extracts the block number from arguments and forwards the request to the ChainFETCH API endpoint /api/v1/ethereum/blocks/{block}.
    case 'get_block_info':
      const { block } = args;
      return await this.makeRequest(`/api/v1/ethereum/blocks/${block}`, 'GET', {}, null, token);
  • Helper method 'makeRequest' used by the handler to perform authenticated HTTP requests to the ChainFETCH API.
    async makeRequest(endpoint, method = 'GET', params = {}, body = null, token = null) {
      const chainfetchToken = token || process.env.CHAINFETCH_API_TOKEN;
      
      if (!chainfetchToken) {
        throw new McpError(
          ErrorCode.InvalidRequest,
          'CHAINFETCH_API_TOKEN is required'
        );
      }
    
      const url = new URL(`${API_BASE_URL}${endpoint}`);
      
      // Add query parameters for GET requests
      if (method === 'GET' && Object.keys(params).length > 0) {
        Object.entries(params).forEach(([key, value]) => {
          if (value !== undefined && value !== null) {
            if (Array.isArray(value)) {
              value.forEach(v => url.searchParams.append(`${key}[]`, v));
            } else {
              url.searchParams.append(key, value.toString());
            }
          }
        });
      }
    
      const fetchOptions = {
        method,
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${chainfetchToken}`,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
      };
    
      if (body && method !== 'GET') {
        fetchOptions.body = JSON.stringify(body);
      }
    
      const response = await fetch(url.toString(), fetchOptions);
      
      if (!response.ok) {
        const errorText = await response.text();
        throw new McpError(
          ErrorCode.InternalError,
          `API request failed: ${response.status} ${response.statusText} - ${errorText}`
        );
      }
    
      return await response.json();
    }
